I made this yesterday and it was yummy. It’s a nice change from the quick tomato sauce that I’ve been making from The Silver Palate. It was quick to throw together, tasty, satisfying and everyone ate it. Even those of us who don’t “do” tomato sauce if you can believe it.

I don’t know what I going to do with the leftovers. I was thinking about maybe adding a little ricotta and turning it into a casserole so I can pop it into the freezer for next week. It’s that or chip away at it by the bowlful which is also a very real possibility.

This is the third or fourth recipe that I’ve made form Ina Garten’s most recent book How Easy Was That? They’ve all been straight forward and solid. I’ve borrowed it twice now from the library. I may have to invest.

Chicken in various incarnations. Mac and cheese (homemade). Soup. The plan for tonight was Ham with Mustard Cream Sauce and couscous, but we hit McD’s for lunch because the 7 year old was “desperately hungry” and after gorging on fries and burgers they probably won’t eat dinner.
